Battle Through the Heavens: His comprehension is extraordinary, shocking Yao Lao from the very begin

Chapter 188 Xun'er's Boundless Joy

With his aptitude undergoing an extreme transformation and possessing a high-level Earth-rank cultivation technique, Xiao Yan was still astonished by his mother's current strength, despite the lack of some medicinal resources.

This truly makes his efforts in modifying the cultivation method while he was still in his mother's womb worthwhile, as it greatly benefits both mother and son.

Qin Yueyao smiled and carefully examined her son, but she couldn't help but be a little shocked. With her current strength, she couldn't even see her son's current power.

Qin Yueyao didn't press the matter further; her son was quite capable, after all.

"Xun'er, why is your face so red?" Qin Yueyao noticed the girl's face sharply. "Could it be that this little monkey bullied you as soon as he came back?"

Xun'er blushed even more and ran up behind Qin Yueyao: "Aunt Qin."

Qin Yueyao had been very pleased with this delicate, porcelain-like girl since she was a child. She patted Xun'er's hand, looked up at Xiao Yan and Xiao Zhan, and gave a soft hum.

"Men are all the same. Those two have been away from home for years, and this little one is acting like she's won a great battle as soon as she comes back." Qin Yueyao stroked Xun'er's soft, boneless little hand and said affectionately, "If only we had given birth to a daughter back then."

Xiao Zhan gave a helpless bitter smile. His sons were disobedient, and now he's even bringing me into the scolding.

Xun'er explained, "Aunt Qin, it was my sparring with Brother Xiao Yan that made a little noise."

A slight commotion?! Xiao Zhan gasped inwardly; it was like a major earthquake—and they called it a slight commotion…

"You're already so biased towards that little one now, let's see what you'll do in the future." Qin Yueyao reached out and tapped Xun'er's pretty nose.

"Aunt Qin..." Xun'er shook the arm that was linked with hers in embarrassment and anxiety.

Seeing the two being so affectionate, Xiao Zhan stroked his chin and thought to himself: Xun'er is not only good-tempered and beautiful, but her background is also terrifying. She is far better than the one from the Nalan family.

If only Xun'er were the one engaged to Yan'er...

Thinking of this, Xiao Zhan shook his head self-deprecatingly, speechless at his own strange occurrence. His daughter-in-law, Nalan Yanran, was coming to visit tomorrow; how could he be so fickle?

"Go away, go away." Qin Yueyao waved her hand at Xiao Zhan and the other person. "Don't disturb our conversation."

Seeing his wife's mysterious expression, Xiao Zhan coughed lightly: "Yan'er, come for a walk with your father. It'll be a good opportunity to talk about your experiences over the years."

Before returning, Xiao Yan had prepared two valuable items, which he wanted to discuss with his father, Xiao Zhan.

Watching the two figures disappear into the distance, Qin Yueyao smiled slightly at Xun'er: "Let them say what they want, and we'll say what we want."

Xun'er nodded blankly. She lived in the same mansion as Aunt Qin. Although she didn't see her every day, they still talked a lot. How could she be like Brother Xiao Yan and Uncle Xiao Zhan, who hadn't seen each other for more than two years and had a whole box of things to say?

"Xun'er, that person is coming soon, do you know that?" Qin Yueyao asked in a low voice.

Xun'er nodded slightly. She had more than just Elder Ling by her side, and she naturally knew that Nalan Yanran was coming.

Qin Yueyao sighed: "The Nalan family hasn't visited for many days. I don't know if their sudden arrival is a good thing or a bad thing."

Reaching out to pat Xun'er's head, Qin Yueyao said with a hint of regret, "The engagement is an agreement made by the older generation, and it can't be changed easily. Besides..."

Thinking of the girl's identity, Qin Yueyao coughed lightly: "Besides, it's also because Yan'er doesn't have much good fortune."

Xun'er smiled and said, "As long as I can stay by Brother Xiao Yan's side for the rest of my life, I would be willing to be a maid for the rest of my life."

"Silly girl," Qin Yueyao smiled, "Wouldn't that make that boy ecstatic?"

As she spoke, Qin Yueyao happily took out an exquisite wooden box made of sandalwood from her storage ring and slowly opened it.

Even Xun'er's eyes lit up, and she opened her cherry lips in surprise, her gaze reluctant to leave.

On the silver silk, a delicate jade bracelet lay quietly in the center.

The texture of this jade bracelet resembles jadeite, but it is more translucent and green than ordinary jadeite, so green that you can almost see green liquid flowing through it.

What caught Xun'er's eye was that the bracelet was exquisitely carved with two phoenixes spreading their wings and flying.

The lifelike phoenix seems ready to take flight at any moment, and its tail feathers are wrapped around the jade bracelet, forming a harmonious circular pattern.

Qin Yueyao smiled with satisfaction: "How was it? Weren't you captivated the moment you saw me?"

Xun'er then woke up with a start, her face flushed with embarrassment, but she couldn't refuse and bit her thin lips, nodding in acquiescence.

How could any normal girl resist this kind of jewelry?

"There's nothing to be ashamed of. I was the same way back then," Qin Yueyao said nostalgically.

"then?"

"Yes." Qin Yueyao gently stroked the jade bracelet and said with deep emotion, "The Xiao family didn't have this scale back then. The only things they could show off were a few antiques, and this is just one of them."

Xun'er knew far more about the Xiao family than her aunt did.

Although the Xiao family of Wutan City has maintained its lineage for over a thousand years, it has only developed a little in the last hundred years. Even so, it has been openly and secretly fighting with the other two families in Wutan City for decades.

It was a rare opportunity to have a grandfather named Xiao Lin, but his luck was terrible. If it weren't for Xiao Yan's rescue, he would probably have died halfway through his cultivation journey, making it impossible for him to contribute anything to the development of the Xiao family.

However, similar incidents are not uncommon in the Dou Qi Continent.

Qin Yueyao took the table out of the box and said with a light laugh, "When I first married into the family, my mother-in-law, who is also your grandmother, gave me this bracelet. Today, I'm giving it to you."

Hearing this, Xun'er understood, and her eyes showed a hint of shyness, as well as surprise.

"Qin...you...you're going to..."

"Yan'er was a quiet little boy when he was young, but after going out and running wild for two years, he's become more and more mischievous. As his mother, I can't control him anymore, so I'm entrusting him to you from now on." Qin Yueyao took Xun'er's slender hand and slowly put the gauze on her wrist.

"I can't control the old man's decision. However, the one I have the most faith in is you." Qin Yueyao looked at Xun'er with a smile.

Xun'er felt that the imperial jade was smooth and delicate to the touch, and the cool, refreshing sensation was as if green grass was brushing against her wrist.

With the bracelet on her wrist, Xun'er felt boundless joy.

With her abilities, finding rare jewelry would be no difficult task, enough to fill the entire city of Wutan. However, she dared not afford to lose such a symbolic treasure passed down through generations.

This is much happier than her breaking through a realm and cultivating a powerful fighting technique.
